Is Typhoid Mary the next Marvel movie?

By Scott Collura

File this one under complete speculation and rumor, but it seems credible enough to at least be worth mentioning…

Katee Sackhoff, best known as Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica, is reportedly researching the comics character known as Typhoid Mary with the hope of landing the part in a "Marvel movie." The story comes from comics shop Golden Apple's blog, which posted the following a couple of days ago:

"So we got a little visit in our comic shop last week by Katee Sackhoff, also known as Starbuck for her role on BSG. She proceeded to grab all the Typhoid Mary comics we had and has hopes to get a part for a Marvel movie..."

Hmmmm. Slim evidence that Sackhoff is in the running for the role to be sure, but then one must consider that the villainous Mary first showed up in Daredevil -- and that a DD reboot is rumored to be in the works. In fact, the character actually did appear in the hated DD spin-off film Elektra and was played by Natassia Malthe.

But then again, she's also been known to cavort with Deadpool in the comics, and of course as we recently learned, Ryan Reynolds is finally getting his Deadpool movie. And that film certainly seems to be further along than the Daredevil reboot…

Or maybe the Sackhoff story is completely off the mark and we're all barking up the wrong super-villainess tree here. Whatever the case, stay tuned to IGN Movies for more on this story as we hear it!
